Senior UX Architect blending engagement psychology with technical UI execution.
PakistanWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior UX Architect with 8+ years of experience in high-engagement mobile systems and Technical UI. I specialize in Engagement Architecture—bridging the gap between creative design and Unity implementation to deliver experiences users trust.
I’ve led design systems governance and technical UI direction, scaling centralized UI libraries and ensuring pixel-perfect execution and performance. I’m expert at aligning Product, Engineering, and Art so design decisions consistently support business KPIs and technical constraints.
I advance teams through AI-augmented workflows, pioneering rapid prototyping to cut the concept-to-prototype phase by 40% using Midjourney, Stitch, and Uizard. I also apply gamification and behavioral psychology—reward loops, progression systems, and habit-forming UX—to complex Fintech/SaaS and mobile product experiences.
I enjoy turning messy product goals into clear user journeys and wireframes, then validating them with high-fidelity interactive prototypes. From early UX architecture to design-to-dev pipelines in Figma, my focus is always on reducing friction and accelerating learning without sacrificing craft.
